Kai et al. (2017) pdf

  • Models predicting student retention in an online college program
  • performance was very good for both groups
  • JRip decision tree model performed more equitably than a J48 decision tree model for both male and female students.
  • JRip model had moderately better performance for female students than male students

Hu and Rangwala (2020) pdf

  • Models predicting if student at-risk for failing a course
  • Performed worse for male students, but that this result is inconsistent across university courses

Anderson et al. (2019) pdf

  • Models predicting six-year college graduation
  • Algorithms had higher false negative rates for male students

Riazy et al. (2020) [pdf]

  • Model predicting course outcome
  • Fairly marginal differences were found for prediction quality and in overall proportion of predicted pass between groups
  • Inconsistent in direction between algorithms.
